Unless you know with moral certainty that Ricca is a sodomite, this statement of yours constitutes slander by insinuation (since I assume that by "twinkletoes" you mean "sodomite," not Irish step dancer.) It requires, from you or anyone who repeats it, not just repentance but restitution.

So should we ignore the published reports of this man's activities because we haven't observed his illicit behavior firsthand? Perhaps we should also give Bill Clinton the benefit of the doubt. Let's not set the standard for public figures so ridiculously high that we ignore multiple published reports out of misplaced scruples. This man's behavior is well-known, yet Pope Francis appointed him. What does that tell us about his judgement?

See #21. I had never heard of Ricca before. I'm in the process of being introduced to, and evaluating the evidence. There seems to be a lot on the Internet from the Italian press stating that this Msgr. Ricca is a sodomite. It's not proof, but it's as "proofy" as it gets on the Internet.

If you will look at my previous post (above) you'll see that L'Espresso puts forward evidence that Pope Francis was the victim of this man's network of lies --- the Holy Father was not negligent,nor acting on poor judgment, but rather betrayed by advisors who deceived him.

It's frightening: Pope Francis decided not to live in the previous Papal apartment because it was undoubtedly wired --- and he ends up at Domus Sanctae Marthae, "managed" by none other than Msgr. Ricca!

Again I say, frightening.
